Definitionen

noun

(Electrical engineering: Electrical power, Distribution) A high voltage system carries more than 1000 Volts between conductors and 600 Volts between conductors and ground. ⇒ By using transformers, the voltage of the power can be stepped up to a high voltage so that the power may be distributed over long distances at low currents and hence low losses. ⇒ The transformer allows a high voltage power supply to operate from a lower voltage source. ⇒ A high voltage system carries more than 1000 Volts between conductors and 600 Volts between conductors and ground.
